PEP is used AFTER.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it is only 2 hours before. These 2 hours are long enough for PrEP to protect against HIV. The medication is able to be absorbed into the body and prevent transmission.<\/p>\n<p>PEP is used after when PrEP hasn&#8217;t been used before sex. It is a course for 28 days. You are right in that PEP contains an additional third drug compared to PrEP which uses 2.<\/p>\n<p>PrEP does contain some of the same medication and it is possible this will work as PEP. PEP can, when needed, only be a 2 drug regimen. It does need to be taken for at least 28 days at the same time every day.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know how risky this exposure was?
